JAWS

A

s one of only three established members of FOBISIA to be granted the privilege of hosting a regional Job Alike Workshop this term we focused our attention on gifted and talented. Many successful schools have a diverse set of students, this event aimed to focus on how we support the learning needs of our gifted and talented children. It brought together over 35 delegates from a range of Taipei European School schools with the chance to share ideas and 4th December 2020 resources used to further challenge and extend the learning for this group of students. As well as discuss tracking and assessment for these children encompassing all year groups.

Gifted and Talented eJAWS

It was excellent to be able to facilitate such an event through Zoom given the ongoing pandemic with people from as far as Kazakhstan joining us. What it showed is there is still a want from schools and staff to engage in these types of PD opportunities. The day offered nine different workshops which helped to offer some insightful views and resources that have since been shared on the FOBISIA Community Forum for all members to look through. Feedback was very positive and the best attendance for any JAWS I have led personally indicates that online may well be a new norm for us to blend into the JAWS even when things have settled.

Next is our FOBISIA Leadership conference in January which I know our staff are excited about following this event. We look forward to welcoming many teaching colleagues again very soon!

Leadership in Uncertain Times

A series of leading edge seminars with Professor Steve Munby FOBISIA affiliate members ESP are pleased to be able to offer leaders in FOBISIA schools access to a unique series of seminars with Professor Steve Munby as they navigate the most significant challenges to educational leaders in a generation.

This programme is led by Professor Steve Munby, CBE Professor Steve Munby is a highly-acclaimed education consultant and speaker on leadership and system reform.

Steve was Chief Executive of the National College for School Leadership in England, and subsequently Chief Executive of Education Development Trust. Steve is Chair of the Teaching Awards Trust and Visiting Professor at University College London Institute of Education.

Session 1 - Leadership at a time of crisis and uncertainty 1 December 2020

17:00 Indochina Time

None of us were taught how to lead in a pandemic nor is it on any leadership development programme. There is no operating manual or set procedure. So how do we lead in times of crisis and during this unprecedently challenging period?

Session 2 - Imperfect Leadership 9 February 2021

17:00 Indochina Time

Too often we hear talks or read books about perfect leaders; super-hero leaders who are hugely successful and are exceptionally good at what they do. It is supposed to inspire us, but it actually has the reverse effect. In this webinar Steve will argue that the concept that we need to be good at all aspects of leadership is not only unrealistic but is also bad for the mental and physical well-being of leaders. The more we seek to become the perfect leader, the more likely we are to make ourselves ill and to disempower those around us. In contrast, imperfect leaders have a deep self-awareness, they know their strengths and weaknesses. They value their teams, they distribute leadership responsibility and they build trust amongst their colleagues.

Session 3 - Learning-Centred Leadership. Developing our students, our staff and ourselves 30 March 2021

17:00 Indochina Time

How do we lead in order to ensure that the focus remains strongly on effective learning for students? How do we remove some of the barriers that get in the way of their learning? We know that most teachers learn to improve their practice by teaching and most leaders learn to improve their practice by leading.

But we also know that experienced teachers and leaders can often struggle to change their established ways of doing things. This session will consider what we know about the differences between novices and experts in teaching and leadership and what we can do, at school level, to ensure that everyone can be learners and that everyone is able to improve their practice, including, of course, ourselves.

Programme Fees This programme is available at a charge of ÂŁ350 per leader with discounts available for schools booking multiple candidates from their leadership teams.

For more information or to book places for your staff please email Mark Bignell on info@espeducation.co.uk
